Vegan Mango Spice Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting

Today’s recipe is the perfect fruity sweet treat that you can enjoy as a dessert or whenever you feel like it. If you love mangos and cake, you’ll definitely love this one, trust me.

This whole recipe takes less than half an hour from start to finish and is pretty easy to make too. With the rise of veganism, you can now find vegan cupcakes, donuts and cakes in most big cities, but for those of you who like to bake, live in remote areas or want to save a little money, you can make perfectly delicious cupcakes at home.

For this recipe, I teamed up with one of my favorite brands, REBBL. They make delectable elixirs that taste so good. The 3 root mango spice elixir is one of their brand new flavors they just launched this summer and I have to say that next to their Reishi Chocolate Elixir, it is now one of my favorites.

Vegan Mango Buttercream Frosting

Ingredients

Instructions

Mix the powdered sugar and vegan butter using a hand mixer. Important: the butter will look like it’s not sufficient, but you’ll be surprised, so don’t add more than the 2 tbsp.

Once you get a frosting like texture, add the Mango Elixir. Same note as above, mix everything well before adding anymore. Feel free to add an additional teaspoon of Mango elixir if need be, but not more.

Spread the frosting on top of the cupcakes and enjoy!

They keep well in the fridge for a few days.

Notes

If you’re anti sugar (I’m not, but I admit that you can get quite the sugar rush from the frosting if you eat too many cupcakes at once), you can make a cashew frosting instead by blending soaked cashews with a little lemon juice and Mango elixir instead. Also note that not all sugar is vegan, so be sure to use an organic brand or to double check whether the brand you’re using is vegan or not.
